Jer 18:1-6

The Potter and the Clay

18The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord:
2Come, go down to the potters house, and there I will let you hear my words.
3So I went down to the potters house, and there he was working at his wheel.
4The vessel he was making of clay was spoiled in the potters hand, and he reworked it into another vessel, as seemed good to him.

5 Then the word of the Lord came to me:
6Can I not do with you, O house of Israel, just as this potter has done? says the Lord. Just like the clay in the potters hand, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.
